Title: ATTN: dad3i (again)
Post by: Groudon on May 20, 2009, 07:40:34 pm
You took a few Sonic Advance records lately, yet one arouses my suspicion.

"possible amount"?

In addition, sources tell me you have submitted some false stats to Sonic Adventure 2's Freestyle division.

Any explanation?

I've played Sonic Advance today and did a run-through of all the Special Stages. In Sp. Stage six, I've really obtained 222 rings. Sorry if I put "possible amount" in the comments. It's strange about the SA2B freestyle stats. I don't think I summitted any false stats. This took me weeks to do the whole freestyle thing. If sources told me I submitted false stats, then that is something I have to fix. Is it possible to erase my freestyle stats and not put anything at all?

Well his comment was saying he is a modest person. Or trying to avoid Hyperbole-type comments. He's not the only one I see that puts in modest comments.

"Possible Amount" That says:
A: He is a modest person
B: Just a Modest comment
C: His reply to this was official. I'm not sure whether to believe he got 222 because I haven't gotten all the rings in this SS yet. (I'm still working on 1-4) But if 220 is doable, then 222 can be possible. THat's like saying if (Random level) 00:25:35 is doable, 00:25:25 is possible. When I first looked at the comment I initially thought it was fake, but then I thought about modesty that some users have. They don't feel confident it was doable, so they throw down a modest comment so they don't feel bad.

So in conclusion, I am 65% sure he is correct on this.

"possible amount" is NOT a modest comment.  a modest comment would be something like "230 is a possible amount"

It is the way I read it that it sounded modest.

Ok, this is starting to piss me off.

dad3i: Can you provide proof for some of your recent stats?

In particular, the following stats are questionable:

SA2: Bosses, Big Foot (Hero) [0:20:93] (http://www.soniccenter.org/members/dad3i/sonic_adventure_2_b/bosses/big_foot/hero)
SA2: Bosses, Eggman 1 (Hero) [0:13:02] (http://www.soniccenter.org/members/dad3i/sonic_adventure_2_b/bosses/eggman_1/hero)
SA2: Bosses, Tails 1 (Dark) [0:13:16] (http://www.soniccenter.org/members/dad3i/sonic_adventure_2_b/bosses/tails_1/dark)
Sonic Advance: Angel Island 2 (Tails) [255 rings] (http://www.soniccenter.org/members/dad3i/sonic_advance/rings/angel_island_2/tails)

With Bigfoot, I did Sonic's bounce attack repeatedly until it died. Also with Eggman and Tails, I repeatedly shot them with the volkan cannon to get the fastest time. I wish I had something to record with all this, but I don't. I will assure you, these ARE NOT false stats. I played SA2 (DC version) a few hours ago.

You don't need to record them. You just need an image of the results screen.

If he forgot to take the photo he would have to go through this again. And work his way to getting the same exact time (which takes a whole lot of luck) or get something close to such in the centiseconds portion. Since I don't think getting a second better would do any good here, probably is, but I wouldn't recommend that... <_< If you do have the photos, just find a way to get them up on the computer, and then on the attach section follow those directions and you got them up. It is that simple. :) I hope you do get these up!

This creates another f--king problem. I don't have camera either. So, how in the hell am I supposed to do THIS?!
Title: Re: ATTN: dad3i (again)
Post by: SonicAD on May 28, 2009, 02:32:56 am
Then find someone with a camera and get some pictures anyway. Buy a disposable camera and have the pictures put on a CD when developed. Either of those would work.

Post by: Parax on May 28, 2009, 02:34:53 am
also there is a slight problem here as SA2 doesn't save boss stats >_>
Title: Re: ATTN: dad3i (again)
Post by: Eis Makai on May 28, 2009, 09:45:38 am
Which is why I stated that. He would have to go through the entire thing, and try to get the same time he had, this would be easy if there were no centiseconds, but there is and that makes it more difficult, unless he would be allowed to submit something close to that time in centiseconds. But yeah, try to find someone with a camera or buy a cheap one that you can put photos on the comp. (Some don't though). Or put your scanner up to the TV and scan the television screen! :D

WHAT does you playign SA2B a few hours ago have anything to do with your false stats :s

Post by: SadisticMystic on May 30, 2009, 06:42:05 pm
It means that "I forgot what my old stats were so I just guessed some numbers" can't be used as a reason to fall back on, for one.
Title: Re: ATTN: dad3i (again)
Post by: UltraSonic on May 30, 2009, 10:46:59 pm
No, I wrote down my time stats for those bosses. There's no error for any of these.

I take back my remarks >_>

Dad3i just umm try to do these things again, then if you found a friend that can help you out getting the picture.

Just try getting somewhere close to the same times you had here. XX:XX:XX <---- I would like this in the hundredths section. What ever you had for the boss times in minutes and seconds must be the same (not higher or lower), but your hundredths section should be at least in the same intervals (you know :10-:20, or :60-:70) take the photo there.

As for the rings in SonicAdvance, >_> try to get them again then pause it, get the camera ready, then you know the rest, (get to the end and take the photo)

These will take some time I know. (I certainly remember someone having to come to my house to help him prove stats and this took him about a week to get to this point. I won't mention names).

I certainly hope you get the proof, I really don't want you banned for not being able to get proof in time... (As it were he is now but his stats are still up) Just follow my instructions and you might get out of this hole. Remember: SA2B times: Getting the times back: do it again...try to get as close to your record as possible iin centiseconds (or hundredths seconds) and take photo at the stat screen at the finish.

SonicAdv:do this again (and I know it is a pain to redo RAs). Get to the end, and take photo.

After getting them photos, upload them to your computer. Next go down to the Additional Options on the reply screen, find the attach part, browse, find files, then attach, then post. (IF you prefer to use Photobucket, then get an account there (it's free) then upload them there and then copy/paste the link to it which is up in the address bar. Because some people can't attach files here. (Such as me >_>) (I use Phtobucket to get proof photos here or anywhere) then your through and wait patiently for the final judgment.

I'm already banned from this situation, but I'll see what I can do about this.

This is hopeless. I don't know if there is anything I can do about this dilemma. I've been busy doing other things than this. There is a 60% percent chance that I might not do this.
